I missed one today (a)) that was $229 plus $45 shipping, I made an offer for $245 shipped because it said 'accepting offers' in the auction. The guy messages me back saying he's not taking offers. I message him saying it says he is in the auction, he messages me back saying 'sorry I'll edit the auction to avoid this confusion'. I think to myself $229 plus shipping isn't that bad (I don't know Brave Maximus' value very well, say compared to Fort Max, which I'm also currently trying to get...but not for super $$$). So I go back to the auction and while editing it the guy raises the price to $249. So then I'm thinking 'do I want to be spending $300 on him?' but was also a bit frustrated at the seller so held out to think about it. 6 hours later the auction is sold BIN so that was the end of that.

Now that I was close, I'm really wanting him, and he might help me hold off yet further on the Fort Max. So thus this thread so I have a better idea of values for him.

and one just sold on ebay,, loose complete no box for 300...i think you're gonna have to spend about 300-350 to get one...

Is Brave Max really worth this much now? I have yet to take mine out of his twisty tie prison, though this is because of my current lack of space. (The tape on the box is cut however, so I could observe it.) I remember when I bought mine a few years ago for a little over a hundred dollars, (it was on clearance and was the korean version but its still the same toy).

Though prices on ebay have been erratic and often over-the-top lately, i.e. just cuz you see it sell for a certain value there doesn't mean that's what it's worth or will consistantly sell for. (I've seen some items go for very high prices in the last couple of months that you also see go for much less at other times...i.e. $450 for mib Omega Supreme when I got one for $150 weeks before).

He does definately seem worth $250-300 though, $350-400 misb, but anything over $300 for loose or mib complete seems rather overpriced even though some people are paying it (seriously, ebay has been nuts lately with hungry buyers)
I'd be happy to pay $300 mib but no more or close to that loose complete, I should have got the one yesterday but oh well.

You know what freaking stinks? I lost the Emissary's gun. I hope some of the KO parts makers will crank one out someday. I'd also like to trick out Max with red Fort Max guns if they are out there. Any leads?

Thanks for all the responses guys. I really don't care about the box for this guy as long as he is complete and c9+. I find MIB being worth that much more for something that isn't vintage G1 (and not even old at all) to be silly, and also the insert is just ugly brown cardboard, so hopefully I can find one for around or under $200...
